< Hebrews 12 >

1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܤܗܕܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܥܢܢܐ ܚܕܝܪܝܢ ܠܢ ܢܫܕܐ ܡܢܢ ܟܠ ܝܘܩܪܝܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܡܛܝܒܐ ܗܝ ܠܢ ܘܒܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܢܪܗܛܝܘܗܝ ܠܐܓܘܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܤܝܡ ܠܢ
2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
ܘܢܚܘܪ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܕܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܪܝܫܐ ܘܓܡܘܪܐ ܠܗܝܡܢܘܬܢ ܕܚܠܦ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܤܝܒܪ ܨܠܝܒܐ ܘܥܠ ܒܗܬܬܐ ܐܡܤܪ ܘܥܠ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܟܘܪܤܝܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܝܬܒ
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you do not grow weary, fainting in your souls.
ܚܙܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܟܡܐ ܤܝܒܪ ܡܢ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܩܘܒܠܐ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܡܐܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܪܦܐ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܡܛܝܬܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܕܡܐ ܒܐܓܘܢܐ ܕܠܘܩܒܠ ܚܛܝܬܐ
5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, do not take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
ܘܛܥܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܠܒܢܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܪܝ ܠܐ ܬܗܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܦܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܢܗ ܡܬܟܘܢ ܐܢܬ
6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
ܠܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܓܝܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܪܕܐ ܠܗ ܘܡܢܓܕ ܠܒܢܝܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘ ܨܒܐ ܒܗܘܢ
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
ܤܝܒܪܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܠܘܬ ܒܢܝܐ ܤܥܪ ܨܐܕܝܟܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܕܐ ܠܗ ܐܒܘܗܝ
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
ܘܐܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܝ ܕܒܗ ܡܬܪܕܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
ܘܐܢ ܐܒܗܝܢ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܪܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܢ ܘܒܗܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܟܡܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܚܝܒܝܢܢ ܕܢܫܬܥܒܕ ܠܐܒܘܗܝܢ ܕܪܘܚܬܐ ܘܢܚܐ
10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
ܗܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܙܒܢ ܗܘ ܙܥܘܪ ܐܝܟ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܪܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܥܘܕܪܢܢ ܕܢܫܬܘܬܦ ܠܩܕܝܫܘܬܗ
11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
ܟܠ ܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܠܐ ܡܤܬܒܪܐ ܕܕܚܕܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܐܠܐ ܕܟܪܝܘܬܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܘܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܝܗܒܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܗ ܐܬܕܪܫܘ
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܕܝܟܘܢ ܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܘܒܘܪܟܝܟܘܢ ܪܥܠܬܐ ܫܪܪܘ
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
ܘܫܒܝܠܐ ܬܪܝܨܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܪܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܕܗܕܡܐ ܕܚܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܢܛܥܫ ܐܠܐ ܢܬܐܤܐ
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
ܗܪܛܘ ܒܬܪ ܫܠܡܐ ܥܡ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܘܒܬܪ ܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܕܒܠܥܕܝܗ ܐܢܫ ܠܡܪܢ ܠܐ ܚܙܐ
15 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܙܗܝܪܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܫܬܟܚ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܚܤܝܪ ܡܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܥܩܪܐ ܕܡܪܪܐ ܢܦܩ ܥܘܦܝܐ ܘܢܗܪܟܘܢ ܘܒܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܤܬܝܒܘܢ
16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
ܐܘ ܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܫܬܟܚ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܙܢܝ ܘܪܦܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܤܘ ܕܒܚܕܐ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܙܒܢ ܒܘܟܪܘܬܗ
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܦ ܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܐܪܬ ܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܘܐܤܬܠܝ ܐܬܪܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܟܕ ܒܕܡܥܐ ܒܥܗ
18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܩܪܒܬܘܢ ܠܢܘܪܐ ܕܝܩܕܐ ܘܡܬܓܫܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܠܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܠܥܪܦܠܐ ܘܠܥܪܘܪܐ
19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
ܘܠܐ ܠܩܠܐ ܕܩܪܢܐ ܘܠܩܠܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘܗܝ ܐܫܬܐܠܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܘܤܦ ܢܬܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܤܝܒܪܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܦܩܕܘ ܕܐܦܢ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܬܬܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܛܘܪܐ ܬܬܪܓܡ
21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
ܘܗܟܢܐ ܕܚܝܠ ܗܘܐ ܚܙܘܐ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܕܚܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܪܬܝܬ ܐܢܐ
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܩܪܒܬܘܢ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܕܨܗܝܘܢ ܘܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܡܠܐܟܐ
23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
ܘܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܒܘܟܪܐ ܕܡܬܟܬܒܝܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܟܠ ܘܠܪܘܚܬܐ ܕܟܐܢܐ ܕܐܬܓܡܪܘ
24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
ܘܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܨܥܝܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܘܠܪܤܤ ܕܡܗ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܗܒܝܠ
25 See that you do not refuse him who speaks. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܠܡܐ ܬܫܬܐܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܢܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܬܦܨܝܘ ܕܐܫܬܐܠܘ ܡܢ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܚܕ ܟܡܐ ܚܢܢ ܐܢ ܢܫܬܐܠ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ
26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”
ܐܝܢܐ ܕܩܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܙܝܥ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܬܘܒ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܙܝܥ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܫܡܝܐ
27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܡܪ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܡܚܘܝܐ ܫܘܚܠܦܐ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܬܙܝܥܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܒܝܕܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܩܘܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܙܝܥܝܢ
28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
ܡܛܠ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܩܒܠܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܙܝܥܐ ܢܐܚܘܕ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܒܗ ܢܫܡܫ ܘܢܫܦܪ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܬܚܡܨܬܐ ܘܒܕܚܠܬܐ
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
ܐܠܗܢ ܓܝܪ ܢܘܪܐ ܗܘ ܐܟܠܬܐ
